Hi there, I'm Dr. John White, WebMD's Chief Medical Officer and host of the Health Discovered Podcast, where we bring you fascinating stories and unique perspectives like our recent episode on how heart failure can particularly affect women and Black and Hispanic communities.

We've documented it time and time again. She was young. She was Black. She was a woman. No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's going to lead to delays in diagnosis.

We all have to take this consolation of symptoms, treat it the same each and every time, whether it's a young person, a Black person, a woman. If someone presents to me with my heart racing and feeling winded, I need to get an echocardiogram 100 of the time, regardless.

Listen to Health Discovered on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Rapid Bull Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

If God created everything, doesn't that mean he created the devil? Well, the simple answer is yes. God created Lucifer, also known as Satan. But the question is, did he create him sinful? No, he didn't.

He created Lucifer with an ability to make a decision and Lucifer chose to disobey God and actually wanted to make himself God. And that is what caused him to fall. He then tried to use that same ploy on Adam and Eve and brought sin into mankind.

So the issue is, did God know that Satan would do that? Of course he did. He knows everything. But that doesn't mean he caused it. We see in Isaiah 14, verse 13, this is referenced to Satan and his fall.

When it says, you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven above the stars of God. I will set my throne on high. I will sit on the mount of the assembly in the far reaches of north. I will ascend above the heights and clouds.

I will make myself like the Most High. You see, what caused Satan to fall was his own pride. God gave him the ability to choose. He chose wrongly. So did God create Satan? Yes, he created everything that exists.

But he didn't cause Satan to fall.
